Project Citizenship

On this Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave souls who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Today, our offices are closed as we commemorate their service. ⁠

Did you know that if you've served in the U.S. Armed Forces for at least a year, you may be eligible to apply for U.S. citizenship?⁠
⁠
If you or someone you know meets this requirement, visit www.projectcitizenship.org and schedule a call with us to see if you qualify for this life-changing opportunity. ⁠⁠⁠

On Tuesday, we were delighted to return to our monthly community citizenship workshops with Cambridge Citizenship Day —our first workshop since Boston Citizenship Day earlier this month.

With the help of 29 Sanofi US volunteers, we assisted 38 aspiring citizens complete their N-400 applications. We are deeply grateful to our partners for helping make the day possible: thank you to Sanofi, the City of Cambridge’s Commission on Immigrant Rights and Citizenship, and Mayor Sumbul Siddiqui for their support and partnership.

One participant shared: “I feel at home and want to secure my future here, to be able to travel with a U.S. passport, and to participate in my community by voting and having a voice in our democracy.”

Thank you to everyone who volunteered, partnered, and supported this workshop. It was wonderful to gather together again and continue supporting aspiring Americans on their citizenship journeys. 🇺🇸
